Our Amen female had her first calf last night.  She had a Duff Hobart heifer.  We had to give her a little assistance, as soon as the calf was out, she was up taking good care of it.  Not always the case with a first calver.  Thought she would milk a little better, but she had a few days early...

I know within the past year there have been some Interstate donors pop up.  I think he was just a late bloomer as far as his popularity.  Maybe a little before his time.  Green Oak bought an Interstate daughter about a year ago or so in the 80-100 thousand range.  Forget where it came from.  I...

How do the GVC bulls work in club calf oriented herds?  I have always liked the look of the bulls they produce, but rarely see any offspring from them.  I am especially interested in GVC I-Bull.  Any experience would be helpful.

I appreciate the suggestions.  An update on the story...I went to check on her right before the sun went down the day it happened and she had laid back down and wasn't getting up. We had snow and colder temps moving in.  I was very down about it all night.  The next morning we planned for the...

I have seen some good Starburst calves.  I've also seen a few with some structure issues when they are young.

I would maybe say Cloud 9 or Damn Proud on the TH free cow, although I don't think Damn Proud will add a ton of shag and maybe can add a little size...on the other cow possibly JPJ, I've seen a lot of scenarios where he has worked on Heat Wave cows.

Had a cow slip on some melting snow/ice this afternoon.  Found her down laying pretty content but when she tried to get up she would struggle and slide around.  Finally was able to assist her by moving her with the backhoe and she finally got up.  She walked over to the rest of the group eating...

We have one due to calve in late February.  Very excited about her. Anxious to see what type of cow she makes.  We also are keeping one back out of this years heifer crop.

I have one coming in March...would love to see pics.  I know Cardinal had one heifer in there sale last week and remember seeing maybe one or two this year in online fall sales.  Also, there is an ad that has been in livestock plus a few times with a calf pic or two.

Anyone know who bought the TH Free sib to Rodgers Blaze of Glory? He brought $52,003 in the Lutrick and Holloway sale on Breedersworld last night.

Anyone bought semen in an online sale before?  How does it work for shipping?  Does the seller usually provide the dry shipper or does the buyer?  Is it possible to rent a dry shipper from a certain company?

Interesting to hear everyone's stories on calving season.  Definitely don't like to hear the negative but at the same time it's good to know we aren't alone.  We have 16 calves on the ground and a lot of really nice ones...maybe our best set yet.  I think every calf has a story behind it from...

I would definitely say Hollywood.  Look at Pryor's past sales and the cattle they sell out of him always have tons of color and chrome.  Kind of irritates me he doesnt get used more just because he isnt heavily promoted by one of the top end names.  The calves we have from him are always at the...

There have been 2 posted on Wade Rodgers blog I think and maybe one of them was also posted on here in February.

Awesome calf! What was the approximate BW?

This is an Amen X Golden Child bull calf we had last year, we actually just had a full sib heifer to this one born last week that looks just as promising.  We have had 3 Amen calves total now, all unassisted and all have been very marketable.

Here is a pic taken at about 12 hours old.  She is really stylish, very happy with the results! Ali's Solution x One & Only

We have had one so far, have another due this week.  Ours was out of a One and Only heifer and actually had some size to it when born.  Probably 85 lbs or so? Really nice heifer calf, lots of hair and thickness.  Came a few days early.  Will most likely use him again, probably on heifers with...

Yeah I just figured it came from the bull because the dam of our calf had always thrown coal black calves and almost every calf Matt Lautner posted last spring out MM had that similar color.

Had a BUSH Unbelievable heifer calf this weekend out of a Simmi/Maine cow.  Actually was surprised it came out with a full baldy face.  Not complaining at all, just surprised.  Calf looks nice, came small probably around 65 lbs.  Will try to get some pictures of her this week.
